What feeding schedule are you using? You are getting very dark green, thats a sign of Nitrogen toxicity. The leaves are so dark its hard to tell whats going on. Looks like a magnesium deficiency but kinda looks like pH fluctuations maybe too. Again what feeding schedule? How much?

I think you need to back off some, at least on N. If they look like spots I would lean towards CaMg deficiency. so I agree with the above post. R u giving it CaMg at all?

The flora trio lacks magnesium imo. I'd back off the grow, actually I'd quit using it all together. I use the Lucas formula when using the flora line... Just micro and bloom. I don't know what kind of lime you're talking about but hydrated lime has magnesium in it.

Iii have never used flora but I was directed away from it when I first started , people can pull the same growth off flora as they can off an but I think it's just a lot easier and less stress and problem to stick with a leading brand ... Such as h&g ;) , that's just my 2 cents tho , I could be completely wrong at the end of the day nutes are nutes

Despite what you may think, price doesn't reflect quality, especially in this industry. There is nothing wrong with GH, they've been around for like 20 some years. H and G might be good but I'll never know, I refuse to get swindled into buying that "high end" bullshit, serioulsy, you'd think there was gold in those bottles.

Nothings wrong with the grow. Its just not needed. There is Nitrogen in the micro, along with calcium and your micronutrients. Then the bloom has phosphorus and potassium with a little magnesium and sulfur... All the plant needs. The grow does have a good amount of potassium in it, however, potassium is needed probably most in the flowering stage when you really don't need the extra nitrogen. The lucas formula(just micro and bloom) is supposed to provide a good balance of everything the plant needs, but I'm not going to try to sell you on the lucas formula. Continue using all three just scale it back to half or so for now. What week are you in?

If its week 7 then I would definetly be ditching the grow. And good luck on the organic route. Thats one area I'm not familiar with or intersted in. Give me mineral salts any day
